Valve has always been pretty awful at granular privacy. For the longest time, no settings between "hide literally everything" and "broadcast to everyone I know every time I purchase or play anything."

Still no setting between those two options, but at least it's on a game-by-game basis now.

Also the fact that on the steam deck there is no choice to add a pin before purchases is mind boggling to me. Hand it to a kid and they could run up serious bills.

I think that's store driven. I recall having to input my PIN on my Deck multiple times, but there was at least a few days between each purchase.

I would prefer if it behaved like phone app stores. Have an option to ask for a pin right before completing a purchase.

It took me too long to realize you folks didn't mean pin as in pin the game to a dash board of something but a personal identification number for pin.
